AMEX Delta miles just put to good use!

lhcole77 · ‎04-08-2015

Just cashed in some of my miles for a Thanksgiving trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina!

I am pleased with the redemption value and the award calendar search functions online.

The flight I booked normally costs $1600-$2200 RT from SFO. I got it for $93 plus 67,500 miles.

So glad I got this AMEX and became a Delta flyer when I did.

Viva Evita!!!

Awesome trip destination! South America is on my list of "places to travel to before 30"

800+ across all three (via FAKOs) has been achieved! Current goal - Get down to 6 cards in total - sitting with 8 currently.

Thanks everyone! I'm super stoked. It's spring time down there during November. It's going to be beautiful.

good redemption indeed! Was originally thinking about Christmas trip but that would've been 120,000 miles.
